Description
Painting the Sand A gripping account of the human psyche in the face of extreme danger, this memoir follows the story of a bomb disposal operator serving in the British Army. With a record-breaking 119 improvised explosive devices defused, the author recounts his harrowing experiences in Afghanistan, including close encounters with the enemy and a near-death experience with the Secretary of State for Defence. This is a story of courage, dedication, and the psychological toll of doing a job that every day may be your last. The author's remarkable story has been hailed as one of the best memoirs to emerge from a decade-long conflict. Hardback: 336 pages
